Beaufort selected for prestigious UK–wide government market research framework

Beaufort Research joins a select group of UK based research agencies which have gained a place on the new market research framework for UK government bodies, UK Shared Business Services Ltd (SBS). The framework will be available to an extensive range of public sector organisations across the UK such as Department of Business Innovation and Skills, NHS bodies, police forces, Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities.

The Invitation to Tender process consisted of several Lots covering different types of research, and Beaufort was successful with all its submissions. Fiona McAllister, Managing Director of Beaufort, said: “We’re delighted to have won a place on five Lots of this prestigious framework. The time we have invested in this process has been significant but well worth it. We were able to draw on our varied skillsets and broad-ranging research experience to be successful on all the Lots we targeted, covering research needs such as communications evaluation and development, performance evaluation, strategic planning and development, and Wales focused studies”.

“This framework success shows that Wales can compete with agencies in the rest of UK – there was some very stiff competition including top global players”, said Fiona.
